"At Microsoft, we work very hard for cybersecurity in the world. We have special centers and we share information with our customers. Cybersecurity is a issue that we give importance to and work on," Yilmaz said.

He added Microsoft had a cybersecurity center to protect cloud technologies and the teams working in those centers checked 200 billion e-mails, 300 billion personal identities and more than one billion devices a month.
